Zwerkules' Tilesets

[IDreamofDaleks]

So hey.

I know there was an old post on Lord of Worms' tilesets, and how the exteriors can provide a aesthetically confusing appearance when mixed with the Core neverwinter nights stuff that we use. I still think an argument can be made for their interiors set, as it would be more isolated but also.

Has anyone ever looked at some of the Zwerkules tilesets? They're absolutely beautiful, and I feel like interiors and exteriors both would flourish under them. Some of the tilesets contain multiple area types. For example, Medieval city has outskirtsish options for rural looking areas, and mountains and more is a lot of different types put together. They're easy to work with in my experience though. You can see more pictures at the links.

Just for completionists sake, here are the Worms interiors: http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/lord-worms-tilesets-and-arbor-falls-pw-server-haks








Other Notes: Zwerk's tilesets merge way more seamlessly with areas using Neverwinter nights stock or CEP tilesets for one. And for two, they don't have the insane pathing issues that Worms exterior tilesets can have, making them really the best choice in high quality tilesets in my experience

Wooooow!  Nice!

[ladylena]

those are stunning!

Can these be in the next hak update?

[IDreamofDaleks]

So there's also apparently http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/neverwinter-nights-facelift-haks
Which overrides the basic NWN tilesets. It works on the player level too, so I'm going to throw it in tonight and see what it makes Ravenloft look like!

[Dumas]

Pretty much the best custom tilesets for NWN, in my opinion... I think there is another very realistic forest one too?

[IDreamofDaleks]

Yes, and get this it's even called The RAVENCAST FOREST:

only problem is getting areas to be updated, ie vallaki or the mountains. It might take a while but these tilesets are awesome

[Tycat]

as amazing as these are, i don't foresee area's being remade with them. I do however, foresee new areas made with them. Darkon????

why not invidia? or Borca?

neither domain has to worry about telling people "you are metagaming, your character should know think he is a darkonian not an x person" after the player has spent time in darkon. or we can remove the whole memory thing, which I never cared for.

[Tycat]

I'd love to see new areas. Another place to hang out besides the outskirts and the mist camp.

they could also improve hazlan which could have cool areas for rp there, especially evil rp, but alas its barren.

That's why I like these so much; they can be put in without replacing the old. They'll look better, but unlike Worms it won't be a jarring difference.
And honestly? I would personally volunteer to remake every interior area with these. One of my old servers used these and Sens' interiors, they were my absolute favorite things to build little shops and taverns with.

What about exteriors? the medieval city could be awesome to update for vallaki IMO

It's been said multiple times that Vallaki will never be updated/remade etc. etc.

[EO]

Yeah, we rarely rebuild areas. There are a few exceptions (Lady's Rest, Vallaki Guard HQ, Broken Bell, Verzi HQ, RVT HQ, etc.) but these are generally interior areas and fairly small.

[IDreamofDaleks]

Yeah, I'm not really requesting a rebuild on any area, I'm just saying these interiors and exteriors are great (Especially for any new dungeons or interior areas in new domains *CoughDarkonCough*) and they merge and blend pretty well with what we currently have.

PS: Building Small "Haunted House" Dungeons with that Haunted Interior would be the coolest thing ever.

Into the woods,
It's time to go,
I hate to leave,
I have to, though.
Into the woods-
It's time, and so
I must begin my journey.

Arrg! damn that film !

[Elfric]

Reminds me of the scene in LOTR:FotR when the hobbits were hiding from the Dark Riders.

[Feronius]

I'd be seriously interested if anyone knows of any tileset overrides (not a .hak file) that work clientside and contain an updated version of the mountain tilesets, to see if it will fix the bug of crashing in the Balinoks mountains. It's the only area I've encountered in-game so far that makes me crash, so if there's a chance a different and possibly better looking tileset fixes this, I am definitely up for at least trying it out so I don't have to change all my video settings to minimal just for that single in-game region. Right now I am using NWNCQ (the version that is most true to the vanilla game), but I don't believe that does anything to affect the Balinoks crash bug.


On a sidenote, if there's ever any additional domain added, I would definitely vote for the swamps of Souragne. I feel that domain would add something new to the server that our current selection of other domains don't quite cover yet. I'd gladly sacrifice Hazlan for it as well! Borca, Mordent or Invidia would all be amazing, especially the latter due to the history and dynamic that they have with Barovia, but I feel like the culture, areadesign and enemies in those domains would largely end up being more of the same.

Can these be imported to your own client to make Ravenloft looks nicer?

No, these are hak files. Areas would have to be remade with these tilesets for them to be implemented into the server.
